Moscow was one of the best experience that I had in this last period. I was born there and lived there so little time that my child memory doesn’t even remember. I went back there almost 10 years ago, if I remember well, and I have to say that nothing of what I remembered was still there.

The memories that I made are still alive, but the streets and the monuments are all different now. I have to admit that all the changes that were made in that city are all for the best. The streets are all clean now, with no rubbish. The buildings are all new and modern. People work day and night. Supermarkets are open 24/7. The metro takes you anywhere and it passes every minute. There are lots of big green areas, were people can relax and chill. You can find a huge amount of restaurants and bar on every street. The best part is that there is an enormous amount of food choice; russian, oriental, indian, fast food, italian, irish, mexican, french and many more.

I stayed there for 5 whole days and I enjoyed every second of it. I flew and travelled from the airport to the center of Moscow alone, were my father awaited for me. We tried to take the metro as less as possible, cause he wanted to show me every corner and every little abandoned street. He told me stories, anecdotes, history of Moscow and jokes. We were always outdoors and ate at very different hours, but none the less I tried lots of different food. And yes, I am still in love with the traditional Russian food (even though I don’t eat meat, I still had lots of delicious choices).

I also created lots (and by saying lots I really mean it) of visual memories. I always carried 3 cameras with me and I used my bag only for them (and of course for some water, cause hydration is important). I used my iPhone, my Nikon D3100 and my Kodak with film. I made huge amount of photos and videos (with I’m so excited to edit soon).

Time unfortunately flies away way too fast and next I know is that I’m walking in the plane searching for my seat. 3 hours, a quick vegetarian lunch, coffee and 4 chapters later I’m in the hot 37 degrees Verona. I’m so grateful to be lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel. Can’t wait to pack again my luggage and take off to another adventure.
